The Attorney General in Guyana, Senior Counsel Anil Nandlall says that he has been told that Guyana will get some more extradition requests. Speaking on State TV in Guyana, Nandlall declared that these requests will come during the course of next week.
The Attorney General announced that once Guyana receives the extradition requests they will be made public. He indicated the disclosure of the additional requests will be done in the same way that the Mohamed’s extradition requests were made public.
The Mohameds, Nazar and Azruddin were arrested and handcuffed on Friday October 31st and taken before a magistrate to face an extradition hearing. The United States made the request according to the Guyana government through the State and Justice departments. The Guyana government had at the ready, Jamaican attorneys in the country to represent the state.
Azruddin Mohamed is the leader of a relatively new political movement in Guyana, the We Invest in Nationhood-WIN party. His party contested the 2025 elections and gained the majority of the opposition seats in the parliament. As a result of his party’s showing at the polls, he is the presumptive Leader of the Opposition in the next parliament. The 13th Parliament convenes on Monday November 3rd, 2025. The Leader of WIN has declared that his arrest and all the allegations being made are politically motivated by the ruling party the PPP in Guyana.
The United States government imposed sanctions on the Mohameds last year by way of the Treasury Department. The US court in the Southern District of Florida moved to indict Nazar and Azruddin in the first week of October 2025. They are charged with 11 counts ranging from mail and wire fraud to conspiracy to evade taxes on a Lamborghini.
The Mohameds have a long history in both gold mining and gold exports. In 1997 when Bharrat Jagdeo was the finance minister, there arose a gold exportation inquiry that involved a number of gold dealers and exporters including Nazar ‘Shell’ Mohamed. Later, around 2010, the United States government revoked visas of several gold miners, dealers and exporters. One member of Nazar Mohamed’s staff went to court and won in New Jersey to have his visa issued.
The Mohameds were close to the ruling party in Guyana the PPP. Nazar Mohamed once represented the PPP in a municipal district in the country.
